Dumb lateral move. Whiteside is a mere 4 yrs or less younger. And he still averages way less. But I don't have the playing time comparison.
To anyone who thinks this is a good trade: My brother follows Miami so I watch 90%+ of their games. This is not a good trade. Teague and Horford would be 100x times better. Dragic: - If you thought Harden was too indecisive with the ball sometimes, you haven't seen anything yet. Dragic is particularly fond of driving into the key, out the other side and then passing the ball with about five seconds left. In the process he drags the entire structure of the offense out. At least when Harden ISO's he's trying to do something. - If you think Harden's defense was bad, you haven't seen anything yet. Dragic does not fight through ANY screens at all. He does not stay in front of anyone. He is an absolute turnstile on defense. - You guys (including me) have been complaining about Lawson's pathetic inability to put the ball in the hoop. He passes off open shots or just flat out refuses them. Well guess what? Dragic is just as bad, he does not shoot. One time during a time out Wade was heard yelling at Dragic saying "shoot the f!cking ball". He is timid, and is gun shy. - And then, when he does shoot, he doesn't make anywhere near enough looks. He's shooting just 32% from three on about three attempts a game. I'm sorry, but that's just awful. And the excuse of spacing doesn't work either, because Wade does an incredible job of penetrating and breaking down the defense and finding Dragic. Guess what? Clank, clank and... Clank. - The only reason his overall fg % is solid is because he is a very crafty finisher at the rim. - He averages just 5 assists a game, which considering his teammates and usage, is abysmal. He is not a good decision maker in the pick and roll. He picks up his dribble way too much. He has no right hand at all. It's quite sad that some of you want him back. Factor in that he's 30 and he's just signed the contract he has, it would be a disgusting trade if Morey did it. Absolutely disgusting. He brings nothing to the table at all. Keep in mind that Wade's usage is much lower than Harden's this season too. So if Dragic sucks this much playing next to Wade it's been pretty safe to assume he will be even worse (im not sure how that's possible) here. And that's before I have even discussed Whiteside.
Why are you trying to teach people about a player that most have seen first hand. We know what Dragic is and I would gladly take him back.
